I've backed up the whole Buffy show. Season 6, in DVD, has 21 episodes. The first one being a double episode. When aired, there were 22 episodes.

Standard order on XBMC gives the wrong assignments to the episodes, as number 1 is number 1, but number 2 is number 3 (since episode one is 1+2).

Fine, there's a DVD order option in the scraper, I set that just for the Buffy share. 0 episodes found out of 144. If I select aired order 143 episodes are found (due to the aforementioned problem).

Edit: this is the order I'd need http://www.thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=sea...&order=dvd

Did you name the first file properly as a multi-episode video? Where's the debug log?

Sometimes even 2 parters are labled as E01 and E02 even thou they are technically 1 episode

I'd bet they are
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - S06E01.avi
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - S60E02.avi
'
'
'
'
'
'
'
'
'
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - S06E22.avi

Worst case create some dummy files using notepad and change the .txt to avi and see if it finds them for the sake of testing. Thats how I learned how to use MIP "Movie Info Plus" because I wanted to make sure it didn't alter any of my files and sure enough it figured it out.

Of course you have to make sure you have all your files in the folders like so
Buffy the Vampire Slayer\Season 6\Buffy the Vampire Slayer - S06E01.avi

Just guessing of course and I could be completely wrong. Wink

It's Buffy.s06e01.mkv and Buffy.s06e02.mkv, should it be Buffy.s06e01e02.mkv and then all the others till 22?

It kind of defeats the purpose of having a DVD order option if I have to rename the files differently (don't know, can't see the logic behind it, there might well be one).

Also, the strange thing is that all the other seasons are not found as well. And they are listed on TVDB.com as DVD order with 22 episodes each, it's just season 6 that gets a double episode.

Regarding the debug, I was pretty sure (and wrong) that debug didn't cover scrapers activities.

Here's the debug log: http://pastebin.com/f18af6fde

The episodes are found, but nothing is stored in the database.

mattb · 2009-02-03, 03:27

Confirming this with rev17541. Episodes aren't added to the database when the "DVD order" option is checked in the TVDB scraper settings. Without this option set, the episodes are added to the library. Log follows.

i can confirm same issue. ran into this problem with Firefly show.

have to use DVD order, because the default order is just wrong.

Should we open a ticket on Trac? Is this Windows specific?

**mkortstiege** · 2009-02-03, 11:23

Please try again using a more recent daily build as there were some 'pathcleanup' related issues (and might still be). Until this is completely sorted its not really worth creating a ticket.

EDIT: Oops misread it, creating a ticket might be a right way Smile

Mind trying the following modified tvdb scraper? http://xbmc.pastebin.com/m7f62e8a6

If nobody else will, I'll do it tonight. In the office currently. Wink

**ashlar** · 2009-02-04, 01:37

Tried it... nothing changed.

Or... I had to select "this folder contains a single TV Series" and the scraper scraped the episodes (I had DVD order selected). Too bad that Season 6 still has the wrong order.

Unless... did I still need to do the s06e01e02 thing? Because I did not rename it and had s06e01 containing the double episode. 21 files in the directory, 21 episodes scraped. Only the season stops at episode 21 instead of 22 (starting with episodes 1 and 2 as separate episodes).

what was changed?

Your best bet would be to exam what thetvdb.com gives back in this respect.

Meaning? I can see that the DVD order on tvdb is written in the x.y format. 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0... where the first two are the double episode.

Naming it s06e01e02 I have a working solution, with 22 episodes listed and the first two "together", in that if I play either of them both get selected. But I get this using the "aired" order, not the DVD order.
